#1870 – 2016 Book List

[ I read a lot of fantastic books this year, especially in the realms of non-fiction (29 books), queer fiction (15 books – rather low for me), and just about anything featuring cats (19 books). I challenged myself with Guns, Germs, and Steel near the end of the year, and will be picking up Atlas Shrugged on January 1st. Then maybe I’ll just read comic books for the rest of the year… (joking!)]

Eighty books – wow! My Goodreads goal was 24 books for 2016, then in December I had to go down to 21 books, and that was actually an improvement from 2015, which was embarrassingly low (in the single digits). I congratulate you on reading 80. I see a few I would like to read (at least I Am Malala and Stiff, if not others) and a few I’d have to think about (numbers 6, 10 and 12, although 12 looks like it has the potential to piss me off), among others. Interesting list.

6 and 10 were quite good – I wouldn’t recommend 12 unless you’re really interested in the theological transition from paganism to Christianity. It wasn’t as captivating a book as I hoped it would be. I am Malala was AMAZING, though, and Stiff is quite hilarious and educational. I can’t wait to read some of that author’s other books.

80 books is insane! I’m roughly aiming for 50 in 2017, which was also my goal for this year. 2016 was the worst reading slump in my life and I only got 15 done which were all at the end of the year. 2017 will be better though. Keep up on the reading :)
